Indianapolis area dentist describes gum graft treatment

For the smile to look its absolute best, it is essential that all the elements are in harmony. This includes the visible portion of tooth enamel and the gum tissues. Some patients who have experienced conditions such as gum disease may notice that their gum tissues have receded and have left their smiles looking much different. Dr. Matthew Church and the team at Washington Street Dentistry in Indianapolis believe patients should have access to services that can not only improve their oral health and wellness but can address aesthetic imperfections. This is where procedures such as the gum graft treatment come into play.

Dr. Matthew Church and the team describes gum graft treatment

Gum grafting is done to restore gum tissue. Gum tissue may recede not only due to gum disease but because of hereditary issues. Building the gum tissue back up is done with grafting procedures.

Gum grafting treatment is done right in the dental office as an outpatient procedure. Gum tissue is built up and stitched into place. Patients are sent home with proper post-operative treatment instructions to reduce the likelihood of issues such as infection that can develop without appropriate care. Patients quickly heal and are able to enjoy their favorite foods soon after the procedure.
